Yesterday, tragically, Lauren lost her husband and Avery and Colin lost their dad.  Dan leaves behind his mother, brothers and extended family on both sides.  While Lauren is reeling from this unimaginable loss, she needs our help with funeral costs and basic needs for herself and the kids for the foreseeable future.  They are a young family whose kids attend Gross Schechter Day School and are part of so many families—Schechter, Girl Scouts, their community.  Please show them your love emotionally, and also however you are able to financially.  We told Lauren that the last thing she needs to worry about right now is feeling badly/guilty that she needs help.  Please help as much as you can.  All money donated will go directly to Lauren for immediate funeral needs and basic needs.  Thank you so much for your help and kindness.
